This program is divided into four specific areas.It begins with a review of the science and methodology to ensure that there is a clear understanding of the basics of the Billings Ovulation Method®. Experienced teachers have all faced charts that present challenges. This program aims to identify the reasons this may be so:

Is her chart an accurate reflection of her life stage?

Is her chart reflecting some underlying medical problems?

The basis of this course is the Continuum of Ovarian Activity from Menarche to Menopausethe life-work of Emeritus Professor James B Brown
